Slick Mick soulful new hiphop song “I Gotta Rose For These Hoes”
25 NovemberUSA Blog Network
“Is it only when you know the pot is empty, that it’s gnawing at the corners of your mind?” croons a high-pitched, soulful sample in the beginning of Slick Mick’s lovely October release, “I Gotta Rose For These Hoes”. Once the steady shiver of a tambourine, engulfed by slick, bluesy guitars, has had its fill; a goliath, East Coast drum loop stomps into the mix, completing his puristic instrumental. As gravitating as this beat is, it gives our Sydney spitter room to further captivate us with his calm delivery and lyrical narration. This record, above all else, is aimed at the casual listener; who will press play whenever they yearn for a tranquil hip-hop song to pacify them. Slick Mick, sliding through bars regaarding his current state of life and attitude, is not seeking to overwhelm you. No, instead he maneuvers his smooth, Australian accent and endless river of rhymes, to deliver the ideal Saturday night ballad. On the brink of kicking back on the couch to relax? Throw on “I Gotta Rose For These Hoes” and let this excellent offering from Slick Mick massage those corners of your mind.

"Dance With A Car In Pattaya" by SlickMick
04 NovemberAnonymous
A trip to Thailand, back in 2016, turned tragic for SlickMick. He was crossing the street after a lengthy bus ride, when a car suddenly hit the Australian emcee, breaking bones and causing severe brain hemorrhage upon impact. Yet, what did break on this fateful day was SlickMick’s spirit; and although his sustained head damage now prevents him from creating new memories, it does not prevent him from creating memorable music. His recent offering, “Dance With A Car In Pattaya”, is a testament of that; being poignant, adventurous and confessional in every sense of those words. The record is glued together by a jazzy, melancholic piano sample, which is fulfilled by a steady, 90s drum loop. It is almost as if the song provides its own therapy session for the Sydney survivor; seeing as his verses float freely from his lips. Nonchalantly, he tells the story of his accident and its aftermath; with a lyrical narration that makes for a fledgling, hip-hop masterpiece. For it is records like these which are solidified in the history of the culture; and springs underground artist into the warm, rapid waters of the mainstream. Through his stream-of-conscious, confessional, freestyle-esque style, SlickMick has carved a lane all his own. One that is going to pull hundreds of thousands of fans along for the ride.
